That's somewhat comforting.

Sourcefire is a public company. As such, its directors have a
fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of Sourcefire investors.
So: How is Sourcefire planning to make money from ClamAV? I would
feel much more comforted if a Sourcefire rep could explain this.
(Public companies don't make acquisitions for the good of the
community; they make them for the good of their shareholders.)

David.
